Workshops

Workshops are designed to offer an informal environment for focused group 
discussion and learning. They can be in the format of presentation followed by 
synthesis of contributions and discussion. However, we also encourage proposals 
that include activities such as extensive hands-on sessions, site explorations, 
or applied method sessions to advance practical understandings of emerging 
application areas, concepts, and new methodologies. Each workshop should 
generate ideas that give the ECSCW community a new, organized way of thinking 
about a given topic or suggest promising directions for future research. 
Workshops may be half-day or full day sessions.

Workshop proposals should consist of an abstract and a detailed proposal. The 
abstract should be no more than 150 words. The body of the proposal should be 
no more than 3000 words, and should include a description of the theme(s) of 
the workshop, the workshop activities and goals, the duration of the workshop 
(one or two full days), the background of the organizer(s), the maximum number 
of participants, and the means of recruiting and selecting participants. We 
encourage workshop organizers to create web-based resources for their workshops 
so that advertising, submission and organization can be handled online. 
Submissions should be sent through the ECSCW 2013 electronic submission system.

Accepted workshops will need to provide a short description of the workshop for 
publication on the conference web site containing the workshop title, names and 
affiliations of organizers, 150-word abstract, workshop web site, and position 
paper submission or other participation requirements.

Accepted workshops may optionally provide a 2-page Workshop Program for 
printing in the conference supplemental proceedings. The program should contain 
the workshop title, 150-word abstract, objectives, participant names and 
schedule.


Master Classes

Master classes will offer a small number of participants the opportunity to 
learn about specific CSCW concepts, methods and techniques from recognized 
experts. Master classes may be for half-day or full day sessions. Master 
classes proposals should be no more than 3000 words, and should include a 
description of the theme(s) of the master class, the background of the 
organizer(s) and the maximum number of participants. Submissions should be sent 
through the ECSCW 2013 electronic submission system.
